VSP: GCBO Spring Fling
April 5 - May 4
Twice each year millions of birds swarm across the Americas, traveling thousands of miles as they migrate between breeding and wintering grounds, stopping in route to refuel at coastal stopover sites. Every year this spectacle attracts local and out of town birders who descend upon stopover sites throughout the migration corridor along the Gulf Coast.
Spring Fling is an amazing opportunity to see and celebrate the return of migratory songbirds as they arrive at stopover habitat along the coast. This is great time to enjoy the wide variety of species that migrate through Texas dressed in their spring finery and to see colorful birds like orioles, grosbeaks, tanagers, and numerous warbler species, to name just a few.
Spring Fling goes from April 5-May 4. GCBO needs 4 volunteers for each day; 2 in the morning shift and 2 in the afternoon shift. The morning shift is 9:00-12:30 and the afternoon is 12:30-4:00. Duties include signing in visitors, and IDing birds, filling feeders
